The Habs gave up a shorthanded goal four three and a half minutes into the second period, with Erik Johnson firing a midspeed shot between Ben Scrivens arm and pad, a stop maybe Scrivens should have made.
Max Pacioretty finds Lars Eller, Habs are up 2-1. Good forecheck by Andrighetto to rush Varlamov. This line is fun! pic.twitter.com/Uk6denIRMy

The Avs thought they had tied it, as Jarome Iginla swept home a loose puck in tight in front of the net that he created by knocking down Ben Scrivens. The goal was called back and the Habs were given a powerplay, but couldn’t convert it into a goal. This would prove costly, as the the Avs tied it on a powerplay minutes later, with Jarome Iginla firing a one-timer nine seconds into the Avs’ man-advantage.
It’s 2-2 heading into the second period.
